Other than the switch, try the 360. Turn left or right really hard, depending on which foot is in front. Put the heelys right next to each other all the way around, then when you're done, go back to a regular stance

i think you should try the swich first if you have that then try to go backwards.

Linking was actually my first "trick"... considering I had no idea it was a trick, I was doing out of laziness cuz my computer geek muscles would tire out so fast, I'd have to stop after 20ft.... linking my feet gave me double that.... I figured I was being lazy LOL..... then I learned to switch... then shuffle.... I wanted to be comfy with both feet.... most balance sports are this way, if you can be comfy on both feet, yer that much better off..... so I figured it was a good way to create strong fundamentals....

Then of course I figured if I could be comfy with backwards, all the others would "roll" into place *snare, snare, splash*.... seems its the natural progression of things.... some of us just do things outta order but they eventually all iron out....

Like yesterday.... funny as hell.... I was doing footy180's thinking they were normal 180's.... so I taught myself how to do the footy's before I ever even done a regular 180..... I still havent, since its the morning and I havent gone out to ride yet LOL..... I just had to laugh at myself!

Stormz when you say linking is that just where you're going along like normal, but you're touching the toe of your back foot to the heel of your front?
